Hello, I am trying to find the static address for Mana in this game I'm playing, however, when I try to find the 2nd level pointer, I am stuck at this part where it gives me a xor instruction, which I don't know what to do with it.

Help is much appreciated to understand how to deal with this certain circumstance where you're given a xor instruction instead of a regular mov.

A picture of what it looks like.

That instruction sets EAX to zero.

A lot of games nowadays do not have traditional pointer paths with static base addresses and thus the old methods are generally considered obsolete.

If you NEED a pointer, use the scanner. It will get pointer paths that the old methods could never get.

Otherwise, go for injection or something.

Ahhh, but when I tried to use the scanner on the address 197F9B44, it gave me A LOT of pointer paths, and closing the game, getting the new address and rescanning is taking a very long time, what should I configure on the pointer scanner window to make this faster?

Telling it what final offset to use to start can help trim down the initial found amount.

This thread has some advice on that.

Though really, a lot of things can be done quicker, easier, and more stable with code injection nowadays, especially with the new AOB injection template.
